1 Brahma: The Hindu God who Created the World By Ancient History Encyclopedia, adapted by Newsela staff on Word Count 449 Level 540L Brahma statue in Thailand. Image from Flickr. Brahma is the highest Hindu god. Hindus believe he made the world and everything in it. Brahma created light and dark from his own body. He also created gods, demons, men and animals. The evil demons were born from Brahma's leg. When this happened, Brahma left his body behind. His body then became Night. After Brahma created good gods he left his body once again. It then became Day. For this reason, evil demons rule at night, while good gods rule the day. Brahma then created men, and picked the god Shiva to rule over them.

2 In time, the gods began to fear that men had too much power. They worried that men might push them aside and rule themselves. The gods asked Brahma to stop this from happening. Brahma's solution was to create women. Women excited men. Soon, men were busy fighting over them. Their power was weakened and they were no longer a danger to the gods. The first woman Brahma created also served as Death. She was given the job of destroying all beings when their time comes. Brahma did not want the world to become too crowded. Death was kind-hearted, though. She did not want to kill anything. She begged Brahma to not make her do it. Brahma would not listen and sent her on her way. At first Death continued her protests. She stood in water in complete silence for 8,000 years. Then, she stood on one toe on the top of the Himalayan mountains for 8,000 million years. Yet, Brahma would not give in. In the end, Death did what she was told. She brought endless night to all beings when their time came. Death was still very unhappy about what she had to do, though. She cried as she killed. Her tears fell to the earth and became diseases. This article is available at 5 reading levels at 2
3 Brahma is often shown dressed in red and with four heads. The four heads stand for the four Vedas. The Vedas are holy books of Hinduism. Brahma is also shown with four arms. One right hand holds the brahma-tandram. It is used to mark men's foreheads with their future in life. The other right hand holds a string of beads. One of Brahmas's left hands holds a vase of water for washing. Brahma also sometimes holds a bow or the Vedas. He may also be shown sitting on a lotus flower.
